17┆ The Slow Erosion of Pedigree Dogs

I’m back with a Walk & Talk style episode, unpacking what’s really happening in the pedigree dog world and why so much of the current conversation is missing the point. I explore government involvement, the Innate Health Assessment, the Kennel Club’s response, and the longer-term consequences for Bulldogs if decisions continue to be driven by oversimplified frameworks rather than lived experience.
I talk honestly about pandemic-era breeding, the rise of fad colours, shifting veterinary trends, and why blunt, tick-box regulation risks undermining experienced, responsible breeders while failing to address the real issues affecting dogs on the ground.
In this episode, I consider:
- The Innate Health Assessment, DEFRA involvement, and why political, tick-box approaches fail to reflect real canine health, structure, and temperament
- How pandemic puppies, fad colours, and inexperienced breeding have distorted the market
- Why breed standards, long-term planning, and experience are essential if Bulldogs are to survive and thrive into the future
